    The show was funny and good need to bring it back i miss it also it had lots of laughs and very funny actors. Need to bring the laughs back and family drama and the good plot and I just want to see this show and laugh at a funny show all day and not change the channel.The thing wrong with ABC.is they let the shows go away to fast if the shows is not about rich and good family times the show was very good and need to be brought back. I love this show why did they let it go I didn't see anything wrong with it but it was really funny. ABC need to give people a chance that why I start loving CBS it so funny and have good shows the only good show on ABC right now is Grey Antone and desperate housewives nothing else.

    When this show first started it had the rather lofty legacy left by Arrested Development to live up to, due to various comparisons made by TV critics. This proved fairly unfortunate considering the die hard fan base that surrounds Arrested Development, but at the same time it is not altogether unexpected.Certainly the two shows bare many similarities. Both are about comical situations that arise from immediate and extended family relationships, and both have a large ensemble cast. Character roles are also very similar between the two shows, Don the struggling actor uncle is much like Tobius the struggling actor uncle, Carrie the sarcastic teen far more mature than her two parents is much like Maeby Funke, Henry the awkward teenager resembles George Michael, and in the center Cameron is relied upon to hold his family together much the same as Micheal Bluth did.However, that being said co creators Fred Goss and Nick Holly still manage to create a show where every character feels original, realistic and sympathetic. The absurdity of the situation never outshines the emotions of the people within that situation, the humour of an episode never eclipses importance of the relationships between the members of the Walker and Fenton family.The partially improvised scripting helps this show break away from the normal verbal patterns witnessed in other sit coms, where its generally just examples of feed line, punch line, pause for laughter, feed line, punch line pause for laughter, repeat ad nausea. instead their dialog flows more naturally, overlapping, stuttering and fumbling. Somehow it's truthful, relatable and still very funny.As the first season nears its end it saddens me to think these characters probably wont be returning to TV screens, due to fairly poor ratings. 11 episodes is barely a blip on the radar for most shows, and its not nearly sufficient in the case of these characters who have so many more stories to tell and so much more history to reveal. If there's any justice in the world we will be seeing much more of Sons & Daughters, but unfortunately we live in a world where American Idol is the most watched show on TV, so justice clearly went out the window.

    I have enjoyed the action and intensity of the show and it's characters. I have found most episodes humorous and enjoyable to watch.The characters have their own individuality. Liz is a sincere character that women can relate to. Cameron's teenage son adds an interesting dynamic to the family unit.Sharon and Don episode with the sex drought was entertaining.Ezra on the show is great and I love how natural he is with his lines.keep the season rolling it's great.the relationship between family member keeps you connected at all times.i will continue to follow this show. it new and not dated. cant watch CSI or desperate housewives.

    I hate all the shows on free television, but this is a show I can watch. The show is about a family not for the family, and I think there are too many bad shows that are considered for the family. This show takes an unusual look at a dysfunctional family that is as real as Hollywood can get. I noticed in the first two episodes there were references too Cincinnati, and the bowling alley had Hamilton Bowl above the pins. I wonder if the family is supposed too be living in Hamilton, Ohio. Living in the Cincinnati area Hamilton, Ohio is only a 30 minute drive from Cincinnati, Ohio. I love this show and I didn't think I would ever say that about a show on any network channel. Long Live South Park! and Howard Stern
